Olivia (Kerry Washington) asks Abby (Darby Stanchfield) to help her get to Fitz with some news. Abby refuses as she knows Olivia wants to tell him Cyrus is behind President-elect Francisco Vargas' death. Abby assures her the matter has already been taken care of as they have a confession from their main suspect. Olivia questions how Abby could do something as terrible as pinning a murder on the wrong man. Abby retorts, she learned from Olivia sometimes you have to do what is necessary no matter the consequences. She is just doing her job and protecting the Office of the President. Olivia corrects her saying she is destroying it in this scene from 'Scandal' Season 6 Episode 2, 'Hardball.' Watch the premiere of "Scandal: The Final Season" THURSDAY October 5th at 9|8c on ABC.
